This project presents the most severe form of isolation as loneliness that is experienced when physically surrounded by other people. This is a specific form of loneliness that is involuntary and imposed upon by others, creating a state of discontent characterized by bitterness and a sense of punishment. The presence of others is what can heighten and intensify the experience of loneliness for an individual. These works depict figure groups wading in an infinite and undefined body of water. I visually portray loneliness as the experience of feeling unseen and unknown within a group.

I love the drawing--I love the minimalistic use of (what looks like) ink and collage to portray your subject. I would like to offer a friendly and, I hope, constructive critique--don't over-analyze your work in your description. I see this figure wading out into the unknown, which can be lonely, which can be frightening, which can be cleansing, which can be a rebirth. You limit your work by insisting that the viewer interpret it so specifically, when this is such an open and unspecific sort of piece. What you see in your work is not always going to match up with what others see in it--and that is often a sign of the success of the piece, not a failure of communication.

Let your work communicate, it does so beautifully! ^_^

Love it, draws the eye very well - I'd hang this on my office wall.

the figure is too stark in this against the water, an extra brushstroke of blending would have been worthwhile to associate the figure with the environment. Everything else is wonderful.

Very cool, and with the inspiration explained, it is all the more moving

This is insanely beautiful. It's so abstract and yet so grounded.
